QUESTION NO.8

QUESTION: Councillor L. Hagin Meade

To ask for the outcome/update of RTFB ACM September 2023 Motion 8 regarding the use of Understanding Together sticker use, brought to the September South Dublin Age Friendly Alliance and any further information on the use of dementia friendly signage in the area.

REPLY:

Age Friendly South Dublin will commence the Dementia Inclusive Community Pilot in Ballyroan in May. An initial call will be made to business and prominent community stakeholders to attend an information seminar on dementia and what a dementia inclusive community could look like. As part of the pilot, business and community facilities will be provided with the dementia inclusive community sticker and asked to display it as a sign of solidarity.

The Pilot will also include staff training, online webinars, community events and some social activities.
